Filled with fresh illustrations and illuminating commentary on each story, this collection of Dickens' best ghost stories is a unique and fascinating study of Britain's first great supernatural master. The defining writer of the Victorian Age, Charles Dickens rattled Western society with his dauntless progressivism and his acidic social realism. His ghost stories, too, left a deep impression on the collective imagination of his readers. Often darkly humorous, sometimes thoughtfully allegorical, at times psychologically complex, and in the best cases existentially disturbing, Dickens' specters - from the purgatorial Jacob Marley to the signalman's faceless tormentor - are richly diverse. This illustrated collection contains critical thoughts on each story, and illuminating annotations to two of Dickens' most masterful, complex, and confusing tales: "To Be Read at Dusk" and "The Signal-Man." Easily read either at Christmas Eve or Hallowe'en, this versatile collection neatly presents a beautiful survey of Dickens' best and most haunting spook tales.

Ghostly coaches shuttling the mildewed cadavers of its ill-fated occupants; a young orphan being lured to a frosty death by a pale, little girl with a mangled shoulder; a man spends the night in a room with a fatal past; a restless ne'er-do-well recognizes his fiancee with her throat cut in a twilit vision; a beautiful woman is sold by her uncle to a corpse living beneath a church... These are the images that haunted their authors' brains and found their way into the Golden Age of the British ghost story... As industrial Britain steamed away from its feudal-agrarian past, a sense of self-deceit and insecurity - a lingering of violent potential and national shame - pervaded the collective unconscious of the world's preeminent empire. This psychological malaise manifested itself in the English ghost story, which saw its golden era in the Victorian Age. The unsettling works of Dickens, Gaskell, Blackwood, Hardy, Nesbit, Conan Doyle, M. R. James, Braddon, Broughton, Oliphant, Wells, and Le Fanu grace this brief homage to that unique literary era of elegance, mystique, and horror.
